Histamine‐receptor blockade does not influence the heavy‐severe domain boundary and time to task failure in the severe domain during cycling exercise in adults Open
The influence of histamine in skeletal muscle during exercise is poorly characterized. This investigation tested the hypothesis that histamine‐receptor blockade lowers the power associated with the heavy‐severe domain boundary and reduces …

Exogenous estradiol increases cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity during a hypertensive stimulus in premenopausal young women Open
Attenuated cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity is associated with cardiovascular disease. Female sex hormones have a significant impact on the development of cardiovascular disease across the lifespan. Using an experimental model of hormone…

No effect of either heat therapy or aerobic exercise training on blood pressure in adults with untreated hypertension: a randomized clinical trial Open
Exercise training represents a crucial lifestyle intervention for improving blood pressure, yet many adults do not meet recommendations for physical activity. Heat therapy was tested against aerobic exercise training as a potential alterna…

Histamine is a molecular transducer of adaptation to endurance exercise training in humans Open
Histamine appears to be intimately involved with skeletal muscle responses during and following exercise. Blocking histamine’s actions during endurance exercise training by taking common over-the-counter antihistamines resulted in diminish…

Comparison of thermoregulatory, cardiovascular, and immune responses to different passive heat therapy modalities Open
Our goal was to compare three widely utilized modalities of passive heating in the manner that they are most commonly used for heat therapy. We have demonstrated that hot water immersion leads to the greatest thermoregulatory, cardiovascul…

Muscle temperature increases during a single far infrared sauna session without changes in intestinal temperature Open
To our knowledge, this is the first investigation on far infrared sauna bathing with a commercially available sauna and muscle temperature. Muscle temperature increased in the absence of changes in core temperature. The increases in muscle…

Bedtime regularization as a potential adjunct therapy for hypertension: a proof-of-concept study. Open
In this proof-of-concept study, 2 weeks of bedtime regularization decreased 24-h and nighttime BP in people with hypertension, suggesting that this may be a simple, yet low-risk, adjunctive strategy to control BP in many people with hypert…

Acute exposure to carbon monoxide inhalation and/or hot water immersion transiently increases erythropoietin in females but not in males Open
The use of acute carbon monoxide inhalation (COi) and hot water immersion (HWI) are of growing interest as interventions to stimulate erythropoietin (EPO) production. However, whether EPO production is further augmented when combining thes…

Measuring renal hemodynamics during exercise using doppler ultrasound Open
Dynamic exercise causes a sympathetically mediated reduction in renal blood flow (Rocha et al., 2023). Blood is redistributed away from the renal vascular beds to support the increased metabolic demand of the working skeletal muscle and th…

Effect of histamine‐receptor antagonism on the circulating inflammatory cell and cytokine response to exercise: A pilot study Open
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into histamine's role in the exercise inflammatory response and recovery from exercise. To explore this, young healthy participants ( n = 12) performed 300 eccentric leg extensions under contro…

Hypohydration attenuates increases in creatinine clearance to oral protein loading and the renal hemodynamic response to exercise pressor reflex Open
Insufficient hydration is prevalent among free living adults. This study found that hypohydration induced by 24-h fluid deprivation engaged renal functional reserve and that oral protein loading did not further increase creatinine clearanc…

Sex Differences in VO2max and the Impact on Endurance-Exercise Performance Open
It was not until 1984 that women were permitted to compete in the Olympic marathon. Today, more women than men participate in road racing in all distances except the marathon where participation is near equal. From the period of 1985 to 20…
